Abstract
Injuries to lung parenchyma are common, but in the majority of cases supportive management is sufficient. In the setting of blunt trauma, primary concerns are acute or delayed respiratory compromise including pneumonia or adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the setting of penetrating injury, the most common indication for surgery is active hemorrhage and, less commonly, significant air leak. If surgery is required, the primary goal is to preserve as much parenchyma as possible, which is associated with improved survival.
Keywords: Lung, parenchyma, contusion, thoracotomy, trauma.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
